Xdebug 2.8.0beta1 is out!

This is the first beta release in the Xdebug 2.8 series.

The 2.8 series primarily adds support for PHP 7.4, but also improves Xdebug's breakpoint functionality by adding support for the 'resolved_breakpoint' flag.

This first beta release makes Xdebug compile with the PHP 7.4beta1 release, and also fixes a handful of other bugs.

Everybody is encouraged to try out this new version, but please be aware that Xdebug 2.8.0beta1 is not fully ready. Which means that crashes can still occur. If you find any problems, please report them to the issue tracker.

The full list of changes can be found on the updates page.

The source code and Windows binaries can be found on the downloads page, and as usual, Xdebug is installable through PECL.

This release also contains contributions by: Joe Watkins, and GCth — Thanks!
